[QUOTE="TooColdU, post: 2831850, member: 72424"] Nobody really knows for sure that it was Kill that suggested the QB change. The reasoning might just be due to the timing of it all. Virginia Tech hired Kill after their 3rd game of the season. Regardless, the decision to change QBs was a really easy one, especially after they got killed (no-pun intended) at home, 45-10, by a 5-7 Duke team. Their senior starter, Willis, was a 3-star transfer from KU that couldn't scramble in a heavy run offense. After Josh Jackson broke his leg in 2018, Willis went 4-7 as the starter. Jackson ended up transferring to Maryland, so VT was stuck with Willis as their guy to start 2019. Their commitment to Willis was thin to begin with. Hendon Hooker was a redshirt sophomore, 4-star prospect that was VT's highest-rated offensive player in their 2017 class. He entered the transfer portal last year in January but decided to stay at VT. Hooker easily made the offense much better similar to way Josh Jackson did for them in 2017. They both were dual threats. The bottom line, if Josh Jackson didn't break his leg in 2018 and transfer to Maryland, we probably aren't anointing Jerry Kill as this "fixer" of offenses. [/QUOTE]
